The Fifteenth Annual
MTA Awards Gala

The Carolina Theatre, Charlotte NC
230 N. Tryon St., Charlotte, NC 28204

We are thrilled to announce that tickets are now on sale for the 2025 Metrolina Theatre Association Gala! This annual gathering represents a wonderful chance for artists from all over the region to gather, socialize, and celebrate all of the terrific shows produced for the 2024/2025.

This year's event will be hosted on October 5th at the Carolina Theatre in Uptown Charlotte. We could not be more excited for our first time at this venue.

Doors will open for General Public ticket holders at 6:30 pm. The awards ceremony will run from 7:30-9:30pm. Attendees can walk the red carpet and pose for photos and participate in MTA's raffle prizes kindly donated by members and member companies.

See below for a few additional notes about this year's event, and how it will differ from previous Galas:

  1. Admission to this year's event will NOT include a formal meal, but the surrounding Uptown area includes numerous restaurant options where attendees can grab a bite before the ceremony
  2. General Public tickets are $50. General Public ticket holders must choose available seating on Ticketmaster via Carolina.com
  3. Discounted parking will be available with a ticket; more information will be sent out closer to the date

and finally...

  1. Current MTA members can purchase VIP tickets for $75 using the link below. VIP ticket holders will have access to a reception before the ceremony featuring gourmet hors d'oeuvres and premier seating for the event itself! Once your VIP ticket(s) are purchased, a ticket link and code will be emailed to you to select premium seating for the awards ceremony.

    Please note, VIP tickets are available to current MTA members only. If you have not yet renewed or joined, why not take this opportunity to do so?

We hope everyone comes out to join us in celebrating local theatre and the incredible people who make it happen!

Support the MTA Awards

Ticket sales are nowhere near enough to cover the cost of the MTA Awards gala. So, MTA subsidizes the cost of the event to keep it affordable for theatre artists in our community.

Please consider making a donation to help MTA make this event accessible to everyone!

Your donation is tax-deductible and goes directly to support the MTA awards.
